As Schultz points out, a contemplative moment of relaxation over a Starbucks latte is an affordable luxury even during a recession. “I have a strong buy recommendation on the stock,” says John Glass of Deutsche Banc Alex Brown. This is the best long-term play in the restaurant/retail field I’ve ever seen.” As long as the company sticks to its core expertise, Glass is confident that the firm can continue to expand successfully.“

But in May, Starbucks' Japanese business, a joint venture with the Sazaby Inc., announced an annual loss of $3.9 million on revenues of $467 million, according to Business Week.

  „Already an employee in Starbucks' marketing department, Schultz pitched his superiors on the coffee bar concept, but they weren't receptive. Two years later, Schultz tried the concept himself, launching Il Giornale, a handful of Italian-style coffee bars serving the Starbucks brew.

  „With the recent acquisition of Seattle Coffee Co., which includes the Seattle’s Best Coffee and Torrefazione Italia brands, Starbucks seems to think there is no such thing as too big.
